Great fun exploring this dichotomy

An under appreciated fact is that @DriftProtocol hit its latest ATH milestones with zero incentives in place.

if you’re coming to breakpoint and Abu Dhabi. start looking at monthlong stays and book your flight soon Winter is the most crowded time to go anywhere in the Middle East, especially uae and prices are going soar in like one to two months I’m gonna be there all December if anybody wants to hang out

Solana fam: we've started planning for Breakpoint 2025. Breakpoint 2025 centers on two themes: Revenue and Returns. No vanity. We’re putting the mic in the hands of teams printing revenue or delivering alpha. Founders, investors and engineers helping them win. The trenches and institutions are both united by the chaos engine that is internet capital markets -- giving us a generational opportunity to reinvent capital markets. This year, we feature them all onstage. Panels are still banned. Expect product keynotes, team vs. team debates, react-style interviews, and fireside chats between peers in the arena. It’s all going down in Abu Dhabi -- the capital of capital. Breakpoint is alongside Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Formula 1. Everyone who is anyone in tech and finance will be there. If you're building product or backing teams on Solana, you'll want to be there. Book your tickets! Want to speak? Apply now. or harangue @calilyliu in her DMs at your own risk. Link below 🔽

Your takeaway as a crypto founder from @pumpdotfun’s token launch is that you should never pay large sums of money to be listed on a CEX. Price discovery and capital formation has now moved onchain, forever.

This sale was another positive notch for Solana over CEXs. Hearing/seeing that many struggled to even press buttons on CEXs, while the sale processed multiples more volume on Solana.

Your freedom is worth more when others are free, too. Free yourself, then free others.
